Grace Trailer

Zombie Nazis? Awesome. Zombie Babies? Creepy.

By Dustin Rowles | Posted Under Trailers | Comments (29)

Here’s a great way to start your Wednesday morning: The trailer for Grace. Such a nice sounding name, isn’t it?

Well, it’s about a pregnant woman has is involved in an accident and her baby dies. However, she decided to bring the baby to term anyway. Miraculously, when she delivers, the baby is alive. Only she realizes later that the baby has a thirst for blood. It’s like a zombie baby or something.

I’ve actually had two chances to see Grace at film festivals, and I’ve turned both opportunities down. I’m not a particularly squeamish person, and I’m even a big fan of good creepy-kid movies. But evil baby movies? I’m not there, yet. The marketing folks behind Grace also got, perhaps, one of the biggest breaks when, during a screening at Sundance, someone apparently fainted. It happens at Sundance — you spend all day standing in line, or sitting in a movie, and sometimes, food is hard to come by. Or it could’ve been that Grace actually freaked the bizzonkers out of this person. Either way: Good for the indie horror.

It’s also gotten pretty good reviews. Still not going to see it, though. I think I’ll leave this one to Prisco.

Holy shit. That looks absolutely horrifying, and now I need to see it.

However, she decided to bring the baby to term anyway.

This is the most disturbing part of this to me. Maybe I'll skip the beginning.

It was probably the water birth that did it. God damn new age hippies.

Please add brains to the list of food that women shouldn't eat while pregnant.

Reminds me of Jan Svankmajer's Little Otik only without the comedy and fairy tale ending with the badass granny.

This looks like Little Shop of Horrors with a zombie baby instead of a plant. Nicccce.

Zombie babies have been done before. I'm pretty sure I've seen zombie babies in a movie or two but not on this scale. Just zombies being born to zombies. This looks more horrifying than any of the others but the concept is kind of funny at the same time. I'll probably see this one.

Ha, ha Sad Rockstar! I was thinking the same thing. Was there a total eclipse of the sun during the birth?

A co worker is due to have her first child two months from today....someone give me a stern lecture on why sending her this clip would be unbearably cruel...and do it fast...

I had a zombie baby with my ex wife. She craves human flesh daily o and pop tarts lots of pop tarts.

Wow. That totally made me draw back from my computer. Did not see that coming. I guess neither did she! BAM!

Nadine, you will get no such lecture. It is your duty as a loyal Pajiban to send her that clip. I sent it to my wife (due the same time as your freind) she swore at me, I laughed.

Posted by: admin at June 3, 2009 2:58 PM

Freaked me right the fuck out. Holy shiat.

Posted by: jpguy13 at June 3, 2009 3:26 PM

I think I have to send it to my wife. Our son is 10 weeks old today but it's still cruel.

Posted by: Snath at June 3, 2009 3:27 PM

I think the face I am making right now is the face I will be making through the entire viewing of this movie. fucking creepy.

Posted by: tf breakher at June 3, 2009 3:32 PM

Sent it
Laughin too hard at her reaction to be much use
scuse me...

Posted by: Nadine at June 3, 2009 4:29 PM

heheheee, so I made her record her own reaction to it a la 'two girls one cup'.
She wont let me post it but it was priceless, she's watching all 'aaaw preggo lady,(I hadn't told her the nature of the film, just informed her to hit play w/out reading any of the info) oh no, baby die!' Then as it dawned on her what was happening, her eyes widended, she looked down at her Preggo Belly in horror.
After a while i recieved the following IM 'Oh you BITCH, if my baby is a Zombie you're the first one I'm hitting with a bottle full of meat'

FuckingA.
She literally went grey in front of me, it was fucking awesome. I feel bad, she's the only other person who hates our bosses as much as me but at the same time, HA!

Made it halfway through the trailer. I am a pussy.

You mean Awesomely Creepy.

Posted by: Jana at June 3, 2009 5:55 PM

Nope, don't want. Creepy kids I can handle, but when it's too young to even speak, forget it

Posted by: RandyPanTheGoatboy at June 3, 2009 7:44 PM

Nadine, you are a good person and an invaluable freind.

Posted by: admin at June 3, 2009 8:21 PM

I'm such a pussy that I fast-forwarded thru the trailer lest I saw something that broke my brain..This looks pretty gnarly, but I also don't do baby horror.

Posted by: stryker1121 at June 3, 2009 8:26 PM

oh my god. my mouth fell open. i can't close it

Posted by: JLEE at June 3, 2009 9:29 PM

Oooohhhhh *HURK*.

Since I had kids, I wuss out all over the place. Sh*t like this keeps me up all night.

Posted by: replica at June 3, 2009 11:01 PM

replica: I sorta went the other way, I couldn't stand horror early on, but have discovered it's 'joys' as I while away the waking hours in front of the dvd player while they're asleep. I guess that once you have witnessed a ceasarian, the fake stuff doesn't seem so bad :-) I thought they would be kinda delicate, but it was like the surgeon was rummaging around a toolkit looking for a hammer.

Still, I don't do infant horror. Babies that don't seek anything more than sleep/shit/drink are just plain creepy

as someone pregnant with their first child...
Jesus, Mary & Joseph the trailer was enough for me - i will NOT be seeing the film (at least for another 6 months)

Posted by: missh at June 4, 2009 8:25 AM

So...when did she figure out the little darling wanted blood? Was it when she was figuring out the breast feeding?

Cause I've been told kids bite anyway...maybe the baby was fine and she's actually fucking it up by force feeding it raw meat pies. Somebody call Oprah!
